Initiatives for the Isenberg School of Management

Scholarships

To keep Isenberg accessible to all students, we must increase funding for summer programs for high school student and merit- and need-based scholarships for undergraduates. 

Faculty Fellowships

Endowed, term, and instructional faculty fellowships support early-career scholars, foster interdisciplinary collaboration across departments, and enable Isenberg to recruit top talent in high-demand fields. 

Career development and success

Donor support will help the Office of Career Success expand internship pipelines, employer partnerships, and personalized career coaching, ensuring all students are well equipped to launch rewarding careers.

Experiential learning opportunities

Isenberg aims to increase funding that will help students participate in study abroad programs, business-focused trips and internships, and other valuable experiential learning opportunities outside the classroom.

Technology Enhancement Fund

Support for the Technology Enhancement Fund will drive strategic investments in classroom and lab technologies, digital platforms for online and hybrid instruction, and data-driven curriculum design to deliver a future-ready education that meets the needs of today’s students.
